38、ther human being. Indeed, human beings arent needed at all. So, what of the future? Will we see schoolchildren stealing or even robbing to feed space invader machines? Will football grounds lie empty as families sit at home playing video football, or watching the national video football championship

46、a lot of things in common with human beings.If children keep pets, their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledge.

53、en you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart.

Jet lag results from flying long distance in airplanes. People with

62、 jet lag may feel extremely tiredfor several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering. Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had

63、 served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flight

64、s. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their areas. The researcher took some saliva from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress (紧张). He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures

65、of their brains tomeasure the size of the brains temporal lobes (脑叶). It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction tim

66、es on the visual memory test; and their saliva samples showed higher .levels of stress h hormones. The researcher believes that the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four

67、years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.
